Alzheimer's disease (AD) possesses a complex pathogenetic mechanism. Nowadays, multitarget agents are considered to have potential in effectively treating AD via triggering molecules in functionally complementary pathways at the same time. Here, based on the screening (~1400 compounds) against neuroinflammation, an imidazolylacetophenone oxime ether (IOE) was discovered as a novel hit. In order to obtain SARs, a series of imidazolylacetophenone oxime derivatives were constructed, and their C=N bonds were confirmed as the Z configuration by single crystals. These derivatives exhibited potential multifunctional neuroprotective effects including anti-neuroin?ammatory, antioxidative damage, metal-chelating, inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) properties. Among these derivatives, compound 12i displayed the most potent inhibitory activity against nitric oxide (NO) production with EC50 value of 0.57 μM 12i can dose-dependently suppress the expression of iNOS and COX-2 but not change the expression of HO-1 protein. Moreover, 12i exhibited evidently neuroprotective effects on H2O2-induced PC12 cells damage and ferroptosis without cytotoxicity at 10 μM, as well as selectively metal chelating properties via chelating Cu2+. In addition, 12i showed a mixed-type inhibitory effect on AChE in vitro. The structure-activity relationships (SARs) analysis indicated that dioxolane groups on benzene ring and rigid oxime ester can improve the activity. Parallel artificial membrane permeation assay (PAMPA) also verified that 12i can overcome the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Overall, this is the ?rst report on imidazolylacetophenone oxime-based multifunctional neuroprotective effects, suggesting that this type of compounds might be novel multifunctional agents against AD.

The enzyme 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3-MST) is one of the more recently identified mammalian sources of H2S. A recent study identified several novel 3-MST inhibitors with micromolar potency. Among those, (2-[(4-hydroxy-6-methylpyrimidin-2-yl)sulfanyl]-1-(naphthalen-1-yl)ethan-1-one) or HMPSNE was found to be the most potent and selective. We now took the central core of this compound and modified the pyrimidone and the arylketone sides independently. A 63-compound library was synthesized; compounds were tested for H2S generation from recombinant 3-MST in vitro. Active compounds were subsequently tested to elucidate their potency and selectivity. Computer modeling studies have delineated some of the key structural features necessary for binding to the 3-MST's active site. Six novel 3-MST inhibitors were tested in cell-based assays: they exerted inhibitory effects in murine MC38 and CT26 colon cancer cell proliferation; the antiproliferative effect of the compound with the highest potency and best cell-based activity (1b) was also confirmed on the growth of MC38 tumors in mice.

We report a selective, mild, and efficient C-H functionalization of tryptophan and tryptophan-containing peptides with activated α-bromo-carbonyl compounds under visible-light irradiation. The protocol efficiency is outlined by the wide substrate scope and excellent tolerance of sensitive functional groups present in the amino acid side chains. The method can be successfully extended to access pharmaco-peptide conjugate scaffolds.

Oxidation potential-guided electrochemical radical-radical cross-coupling reactions between N-heteroarenes and sodium sulfinates have been established. Thus, simple cyclic voltammetry measurement of substrates predicts the likelihood of successful radical-radical coupling reactions, allowing the simple and direct synthetic access to 3-sulfonylated imidazopyridines and indolizines. The developed electrochemical radical-radical cross-coupling reactions to sulfonylated N-heteroarenes boast the green synthetic nature of the reactions that are oxidant- and metal-free.

The assertion made by Wu et al. that aromaticity may have considerable implications for molecular design motivated us to use nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) as an aromaticity criterion to evaluate the antifungal activity of two series of indol-4-ones. A linear regression analysis of NICS and antifungal activity showed that both tested variables were significantly related (p –1 for Candida glabrata, Candida krusei and Candida guilliermondii with compounds 15-32, 15-15 and 15-1. The MIC for filamentous fungi was 1.95 μg·mL–1 for Aspergillus niger for compounds 15-1, 15-33 and 15-34. The results obtained support the use of NICS in the molecular design of compounds with antifungal activity.

In this work, two types of novel photoinitiaors containing phototrigger were prepared to overcome oxygen inhibition in the UV- curing system in the absence of hydrogen donor. The structures of prepared novel photoinitiators were determined by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and high resolution MS (HR[sbnd]MS) spectra data. The photo chemical behavior and photo-reactivity were also evaluated by ultraviolet-visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy and real-time Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (RT-FTIR), respectively. The results show the prepared photoinitiators exhibit remarkable redshift compared to the commercial BP (benzophenone) and Irgacure 907 (2-methyl-1-(4-methylsulfanylphenyl)-2-morpholin-4-ylpropan-1-one), fast photolysis by C[sbnd]S bond, good photo initiation and significant overcoming oxygen inhibition for some compounds, which can be used as one-component photoinitiator candidates.

In(OTf)3-catalyzed intramolecular hydroarylation of α-phenylallyl β-ketosulfones provides sulfonyl 1-benzosuberones and 1-tetralones in moderate to good yields in refluxing (CH2Cl)2under open-vessel and easy-operation reaction conditions. A plausible mechanism is proposed and discussed. This highly regioselective protocol provides an atom-economic ring-closure route.

Malaria remains one of the most deadly infectious diseases, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths each year, primarily in young children and pregnant mothers. Here, we report the discovery and derivatization of a series of pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridines targeting Plasmodium falciparum, the deadliest species of the malaria parasite. Hit compounds in this series display sub-micromolar in vitro activity against the intraerythrocytic stage of the parasite as well as little to no toxicity against the human fibroblast BJ and liver HepG2 cell lines. In addition, our hit compounds show good activity against the liver stage of the parasite but little activity against the gametocyte stage. Parasitological profiles, including rate of killing, docking, and molecular dynamics studies, suggest that our compounds may target the Qo binding site of cytochrome bc1.

Inhibition of transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) type 1 receptor (ALK5) provides a feasible approach for the treatment of fibrotic diseases and malignant tumors. In this study, we designed and synthesized a new series of 4-(pyridin-4-oxy)-3-(3,3-difluorocyclobutyl)-pyrazole derivatives, and evaluated biologically as TGF-β type 1 receptor inhibitors. The most potent compound 15r inhibited the ALK5 enzyme and NIH3T3 cell viability with IC50 values of 44 and 42.5 nM, respectively. Compound 15r also displayed better oral plasma exposure and excellent bioavailability than LY-3200882, and in vivo inhibited 65.7% of the tumor growth in a CT26 xenograft mouse model.

Using reported glutathione S-transferase omega 1 (GSTO1-1) cocrystal structures, we designed and synthesized acrylamide-containing compounds that covalently bind to Cys32 on the catalytic site. Starting from a thiazole derivative 10 (GSTO1-1 IC50 = 0.6 μM), compound 18 was synthesized and cocrystallized with GSTO1. Modification on the amide moiety of hit compound 10 significantly increased the GSTO1-1 inhibitory potency. We solved the cocrystal structures of new derivatives, 37 and 44, bearing an amide side chain bound to GSTO1. These new structures showed a reorientation of the phenyl thiazole core of inhibitors, 37 and 44, when compared to 18. Guided by the cocrystal structure of GSTO1:44, analogue 49 was designed, resulting in the most potent GSTO1-1 inhibitor (IC50 = 0.22 ± 0.02 nM) known to date. We believe that our data will form the basis for future studies of developing GSTO1-1 as a new drug target for cancer therapy.
